Building oneself a good tube amp or two is a requisite rite of passage for
the true audiophile.
**Bull****. It can be a useful learning experience for some people, however.
I've built a few tube amps over the years. I fixed a few and listened to
lots. I know a lot of audiophiles, whose hearing I respect. Most have never
built anything. Nor do they need to. To draw further on your analogy, it
would be like telling a racing driver that he cannot know how to drive,
until he has built a racing engine.
The better racing drivers "came up the hawse pipe" and did mechanic
work in the old days. Now they're spoiled cosseted brats.
